One of the best comedies ever is getting its own TV series

Furthermore, the series has secured original creators Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and Jemaine Clement (Flight Of The Conchords) as executive producers, and Waititi is expected to direct at least the pilot episode now ordered by FX. In it they play vampire roomies, Vladislav and Viago, part of a bloody quartet who hilariously hunt together in modern day Wellington (Te Aro).

Paranormal Event Response Unit is written by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, and expected to air in New Zealand later this year, after which we'll surely find it on one of the streaming outlets.

As of yet it is not clear if either Clement or Waititi plan to step out in front of the camera in the series.

Taika Waititi isn't mucking around after the success of Thor: Ragnarok - he's just landed a pilot for a US TV show. Clement is attached as writer and executive producer on TV adaptation, and Waititi will direct and executive produce. The new What We Do in the Shadows will star Kayvan Novak (Thunderbirds Are Go), Matt Berry (Toast of London), Natasia Demetriou (Year Friends), and Harvey Guillen (The Thundermans). They struggle to keep up with their strict diet and keep up to speed with the latest trends in technology.

Meanwhile, We're Wolves, the film sequel to What We Do in the Shadows, is also in the works - ETA TBA. Aside from vampires, the film also features werewolves.
